[Shooter 2.5]

And you still didn't answer a single question that I asked you. As far as I'm concerned, the GOA does nothing except whine about the NRA.

Have you ever bothered to go to the GOA web site and check them out? I am a life member of the NRA, but I also support the GOA and the JPFO. In my opinion the NRA has become way too willing to compromise. Gun owners have already compromised too much. It's time to start saying HELL NO.

You only asked one question - the one about the press. The rest were of the form "prove it to me" If what I said doesn't convince you that the NRA is bunch of lying duplicituous sell out traitors, then nothing else I'd say will do so either. You'll just have to find out for yourself when the knife come in your back, but I suggest that you pay attention to what they actually do rather than what they say they do. The two are not the same.

As far as the press I don't know why JPFO, GOA etc are not quoted. I have a theory that you'll probably dismiss, but since you asked:
We all know that the press has a strong pro totalitarianism anti individual freedom bias. By defining the debate as the NRA (which is a pro-compromise organisation no matter what you think) vs the anti-gunners. The media eliminates an entire side of the debate. That is the side represented by those of us who would like to see all gun control laws going back to the '30s eliminated. By misrepresenting the NRA as the gun owners' extreme view, the media never give the real right/paleo-libertarian/conservative view any exposure. The media is then shaping the debate for those who don't know any better to represent an extreme totalitarian view on one side, and a middle of the road compromise view on the other. The media defines the choices as immediate surrender demanded by scum like Feinstein, Kennedy, Clinton and Schumer on one side and gradual surrender as represented by the NRA.
